The thesis

A builder's model for software, not slide decks.

Most ideas don't die from lack of funding — they die from lack of a shipped product and honest signal. I build first.

What I build

lean MVPs, internal tools, and micro-SaaS. i pick sharp, well-defined problems and ship the smallest product that proves the thesis.

How I build

solo, design-led, shipping to production in public. metrics from day one — every build is either earning signal or it isn't worth keeping.

The model

i build, validate, then decide: keep going, bring on a partner or operator, or sunset and move on. keep what compounds.

Pipeline

Five builds, shipping in public.

Every project here exists because I wanted to use it. One is live, the rest are still in the workshop — filter by stage to see what's shipping.

travel

cruise planner

Live

search real sailings across 20+ cruise lines and chain them into optimized multi-segment itineraries on one map.

planning back-to-back cruises means hand-matching ports and dates across separate line sites — slow and error-prone.

local community

onthebell

Alpha / Waitlist

an address-verified hyper-local platform bundling a feed, marketplace, jobs, and business directory for one community.

regional towns lack a single trusted, locally-scoped digital home — needs are scattered across facebook groups and generic marketplaces.

marketplace / gig

perkr

Alpha / Waitlist

a perks and deals marketplace giving verified gig drivers exclusive discounts, funded by subscribing local businesses.

gig drivers get no benefits and small businesses can't reach that mobile workforce. perkr connects both sides.

ai / dev tools

hAI

In Development

a local-first mobile dev workstation — chat with on-device LLMs, edit code, and run a real Linux terminal from your phone.

real development tooling doesn't run on a phone without a cloud backend; hai puts AI inference, a shell, and git on-device.

health & fitness

babyweight

In Development

weekly fitness-equipment swaps plus guided workouts for new parents — train to lift, carry, and twist through daily parenting.

gyms cost and weights clutter. new parents want functional strength without a membership or outgrown home gear.
